There are no impacts to Hanford work schedules at this time.
A brush fire that started off the Hanford Site has spread to the Arid Lands Ecology Reserve (ALE) area of the Hanford Site west of State Route 240. As of 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 31, 2016, State Route 24 closed from milepost 14 to milepost 39 at the junction of State Route 240. State Route 24 will remain closed and an estimated time to reopen is undetermined. Hanford employees will need to use alternate routes. We will continue to monitor the situation and update this message if conditions change. For specific questions regarding company policy contact your manager. |

Status Of Nearby Fire: No Issue At LIGO & Hanford Site
During the drive in one can certainly see a smoldering Rattlesnake Mountain (did not see much activity [i.e. active fires/personnel] by eye). From our End-Y building looks like the fire was about 6-7 miles away.
Fred mentioned there were no issues mentioned on the radio with regards to the fire and the Hanford Site. Ryan pointed me to the hanford.gov advisory site (there is a banner link which you can get the following info about yesterday's nearby fire):
